Doc Martin Schedule Update

Doc Martin and baby

Due to the convention and debate coverage and special mini-series scheduled by PBS for the Fall, Doc Martin on Thursday nights has been removed from the schedule. To avoid confusion to our viewers, we have decided to air it in time slots that we can assure. 

New episodes of Doc Martin will air on Saturday nights at 10:00 p.m. on WCVE PBS/WHTJ PBS with a repeat on the following Fridays at 9:00 p.m. on WCVW PBS (this is a change in the repeat pattern). This change starts with the beginning of Series 5 on Saturday, September 1.
